Disclaimer: Pokemon is not mine. -shakes head vigorously-

Okay, before you start reading this (and possibly singing along, teehee), let me make it clear that I do NOT hate Charizard! D: Charizard's cool, a'ight. I just wanted to play on his disobedient tendencies. I know, he eventually respected him, but.. xD Forget it, before I start rambling! On with the show!

The whole thing is in Ash's point of view. (:

"Listen Up, Charizard"
to the tune of "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations

Oh, oh, oh, Charizard!
You never obey me when I wish you would…
You just take a nap!
And worst of all,
You cost me that vic-to-ry at PokeLeague!

But ah, what the hey.

Charizard!
Oh, you fire-breathing dragon!
Why won't you listen to me?
The day you do,
I-I will be filled with glee.

Can't deny it, nuh-uh,
For instance, take that time at Cin-na-bar!
You didn't listen then
(Uh-uh-uh!)
Of course, you still won
But that's not the point, hun—
You just fought!
I didn't tell you to!

(CHAR-I-ZARD!)
"Listen, listen," I try to say!
(CHAR-I-ZARD!)
But still you won't… I wish you'd obey.
My name's Ash, and I will get you to listen today!

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh…

Oh, oh, oh, Charizard!
Wish you would do just what I tell you to,
Instead of ignore.
Oh, Charizard,
Is something I'm doing not quite right for you?
I don't have a clue!

Charizard!
Oh, you fire-type dragon!
Why won't you listen to me?
The day you do,
I-I will be filled with glee.

Your Charmander years,
They bring me to tears even more!
You were so loyal then…
Respectful and true,
O-oh, what did I do, I do wrong?
I wish you'd tell me please.

(CHAR-I-ZARD!)
"Listen, listen," I try to say!
(CHAR-I-ZARD!)
But still you won't! I wish you'd obey…
My name's Ash, and I will get you to listen today!

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh…

Oh, oh, oh, Charizard!
You never obey me when I wish you would.
You just take a nap!
To get you to, I'd pay any price—
I'd even sell my cap.
Now ain't that enough?

Charizard!
Oh, you fire-breathing dragon!
Why won't you, won't you obey?
The day you do,
I will prance 'round and shout "YAY!"

Cha-cha-cha-cha-ri-zaaaard!
Oh, you fire-breathing dragon,
Why won't you listen to me?
The day you do,
I-I will be filled with glee!
